ECLIPSE 15 MUSINGS ON THE PROS is good, and not too technical. The first issue of SUPER SCIENCE NOVELS, which replaces SUPER SCIENCE STORIES, gets off to a good start with a long novel, "Genus Homo." This is a sophisticated tale of a group of 20 men and women who find themselves stranded in a future so far distant that various primates have risen to a fair state of civilization. They aid gorillas in a war with the more savage baboons. I don't especially care for the tone of the story. It is good otherwise. The remaining stories are acceptable, and the article excellent. The first issue of the new Wollheim mag, STIRRING SCIENCE STORIES, is somewhat of a disappointment. "Strange Return" is a better than average novelette on the old theme of two Earths, at opposite points in the same orbit. "Lunar Gun" and "Resilience," the latter the first pro effort of Damn Knight, are also good. Pic by Hunt, Denver fan, is worth a second look. Also, three by Bok. Well, I'll be back in April, you're afraid. So long, fan(s). ------------------------------------- SCIENCE FICTION QUIZ Multiple choice. Pick the author of each story named from the four listed. 1. "The Legion of Space" (a) Ralph M. Farley (b) L. Scrague de Camp (c) Don A. Stuart (d) Raymond Z. Palmer 2. "Galactic Patrol" (a) Frederic A. Kummer, Jr. (b) Ed Earl Repp (c) Edmond Hamilton (d) Ray Cummings 3. "The Mightiest Machine" (a) Don Wilcox (b) Edgar R. Burroughs (c) Neil R. Jones (d) Arthur J. Burks 4.
